Add Vaughn to the list of fantastic surprises of Kopech, Rodon, and Mercedes. I almost expect Engel to come back and hit .300

Time to start using Ruiz in higher leverage situations and let Foster mop up.

TLR used the bullpen well this game. He still has to use Foster if he is on the roster. Mitigated the damage by getting Crochet in there quickly. I doubt Foster will pitch anytime aside from garbage time at this point.

That was a magic dust game. Cease was ceasey. Bloops and dunks found real estate. Got out of a lot of jams and our .120 catcher ran into one.

Moncada seems hurt again. Grimacing after swings. Or maybe it's just his electrifying personality.

add Zack Collins to the list as well.

People doubted he could catch at the MLB level. He now looks legit back there. His LH bat, power and high OBP are going to keep him on an MLB roster for a decade

Right now we look like the most complete team in the American League and Eloy returns in 3 months with Robert potentially back in 4.

If the pitching keeps up, and honestly it should, this team is going to be playing deep into fall.

Even Engel coming back in a few weeks to play gold glove level defense in CF is going to be a boost.

Also a better bat in the 8 hole than Leury

This cannot be counted on. I am just as hopeful as anyone that this happens but realistically you cannot bank on it. At this point you have to figure Robert is gone for the year, and best case is that Eloy can DH in late Sept and in Oct.



Yup;

Sticks took a swing last night that looked like my 7 yr old granddaughter's swing. At least the one Simmons took was on accident.

Yesterday was very encouraging. Fall behind 3-0 and storm back against their best starter. And this is down two stars. Need to bury them now.

It would be sweet if the Sox sweep the Twins, the Royals keep losing, then then tne Sox go and sweep them again. Take the trash out

Sweet is an understatement. Now if we can just slay f-ing Cleveland.

Benetti is more & more frequently trying to predict the next pitch, which annoys the shit out of me.

Leave that to the guy next to you whose entire career is based on stuff like that.

Don't stop now boys!

Love watching a team with speed more than I like watching a team of bangers.

Sox are both.
